Searching element that are at a different xpath level

Robot Framework

Hi all,

I’m stuck with a script with which I intend to search for a specific property and if this property exist then i have to extract the text from another div that it’s at a different xpath level.

Please see the image attached cause i thought it’s better to understand the code.

I have no problem to Get Count Elements with @checked property using (don’t mind the [1]):
${count} Get Element Count (//div[@id=‘flight-card’])[1]//input[@type=‘radio’ and @checked]
So i can know if there are 1, 2 or more items with @checked property but the i have problems to interact correctly to get the Text for each of the items with the @checked property (in my code always get the text for the first one @checked item) using something like this:

Set Variable    ${Con_check}    (//div[@id='flight-card'])[1]//input[@type='radio' and 
@checked]
Set Variable    ${compañia_name}    (//div[@id='flight-card'])[1]//input[@type='radio' and 
@checked]/ancestor::div[contains(@id,'-option') and 
contains(@class,'styles_option__')]//div[@data-qa='company-name']

${count}    Get Element Count    ${Con_check}
Log    ${count}

FOR  ${Con_check}  IN  (//div[@id\='flight-card'])[1]
        ${nombre}    Get Text    ${compañia_name}
        Log    ${nombre}
END

Try to iterate the elements with Get Web Elements and Get Web Element .

Hi @HelioGuilherme66
Thanks for your help.
I tried this script but looks like the system always retrieve the same Text, i mean the text related to the first item with @checked property:
Set Variable ${Con_check} (//div[@id=‘flight-card’])[4]//input[@type=‘radio’ and
@checked]

${Elements_with_checked}    Get WebElements    ${Con_check}
Log    ${Elements_with_checked}

FOR    ${element}    IN    @{Elements_with_checked}
    ${item_checked}    Get WebElement    ${element}
    Log    ${item_checked}
    ${cia_name}    Get Text    (//div[@id='flight-card'])[4]//input[@type='radio' and 
@checked]/ancestor::div[contains(@id,'-option') and 
contains(@class,'styles_option__')]//div[@data-qa='company-name']
END

I don’t know well how to use the webelement into the Get Text so the xpath search for the Text in the second WebElement (sorry i have to say that i get 2 webelements).

Hi,

It seems in your examples above that you fix some indices, and not going through the correct nodes.

First this:

Set Variable    ${Con_check}    (//div[@id='flight-card'])[1]//input[@type='radio' and @checked]

Will stop at the first “flight-card” div, then may indeed return several input located below. But it has no text associated below (green area in your screen). The text you need is in a following-sibling of the input’s div parent.

Then in your first Get Element Count and FOR loop, you overwrite ${nombre} at each loop, so you will always get the last, or same name (as previously you fixed to the first). You should either name the variable in a incremental way, or add it to a list.

In your second case, you Get Webelements which returns a list, but then you loop and reevaluate it in the loop, and use Get Text on a fixed variable. The point here is to extract text from ${element}.

To my point of view, you should (to adjust of course), use the correct xpath variable to aim the text in the div (verify in inspector that it highlights the correct ones).
I would say something like this :

     VAR    ${Con_check}    //div[@id='flight-card']//input[@type='radio' and @checked]/following::div[@data-qa='company-name'][1]//div
     ${Elements_with_checked}    Get WebElements    ${Con_check}

     VAR     ${i}     1
     FOR    ${element}    IN    @{Elements_with_checked}
         ${cia_name${i}}    Get Text    ${element}
         ${i}     Evaluate     ${i} + 1
    END

==> Here we search for every flight card id, with an input radio and checked, then the first following div company-name, and finally the div containing the text.
Then you get webelements and loop on it by taking are of not overwriting the variables (incrementing the name).

Thanks a lot @CharlieScene
Your code works as expected. The key for me was th ${Con_check} i was focused in an incorrect xpath so i can’t get the expected text… i tried several times with different code but always keep the same ${Con_check}. Regarding to the [1] in (//div[@id=‘flight-card’])[1] that’s correct cause i’m only interested in this first one item

My final code following your steps it’s:

Set Suite Variable    ${Con_check}    (//div[@id='flight-card'])[11]//input[@type='radio' and 
@checked]/following::div[@data-qa='company-name'][1]//div
${Elements_with_checked}    Get WebElements    ${Con_check}
${cia_names}    Create List

FOR    ${element}    IN    @{Elements_with_checked}
    ${cia_name}    Get Text    ${element}
    Append To List    ${cia_names}    ${cia_name}
END

Log    Las compañías son: ${cia_names}    console=True
Log    Nombre de la primera compañía: ${cia_names[0]}    console=True
Log    Nombre de la segunda compañía: ${cia_names[1]}    console=True

As you can see i changed a little bit and finally create a list to save the names.

Thanks a lot
